http://www.mrbreakfast.com/low_carb.asp - this might be some help :) Good luck! The first 5 days I did Atkins where the worst, I have never craved chocolate so much. But you're right, after that it was easy. 

Just sleep until lunch...then you won't have to worry about breakfast! LOL Just kidding. Love, your favorite brother. 

I'm on my third week and feeling great. The first week I got tired towards the end, make it through the weekend and your on your way. I bought the Atkins Shakes at Sam's Club, 1 carb 15 grams of protein and vit & minerals, it really has helped me stay on this, because I can't eat eggs and cheese every morning and not in the mood to cook that early.  

I've been doing atkins for about 5 months so I know what you mean about breakfast! Eggs can get pretty boring and I'm not a great morning person..... But, for me, this is a bigger meal than the others because I need the energy to get the day going. So sometimes I just eat some of the dinner leftovers from the night before (e.g., chicken, hamburger, etc). It's not normal breakfast food, but it doesn't bother me - I just need to get something high-protein in my stomach so I can start my day!  

Atkins Chocolate Chip 'granola' bars. Awesome break from eggs. My husband, grandkids and I went to Dunkin Donuts (my favorite coffee)--they got chocolate covered donuts, I ate my choc chip bar--it is fantastic with coffee. Enjoy!
